Today there is a large volume of GLBT literary studies in the English language. The listings of this kind offered below are selective; for more items, there are various sources (see, for example, Rictor Norton’s Bibliography of Gay and Lesbian History: http://rictornorton.co.uk/bibliog/index.htm.).

What often gets lost in the shuffle, though, is literary studies addressing works in languages other than English. The following compilation is offered as a help in this regard. The emphasis is on general studies with strong literary content. Only a few entries are offered on individual writers, such as Gide and Pasolini, because the items cited have a broader resonance.

Looking over these rosters has suggested some preliminary reflections on the accomplishment of studies of this kind.

It is axiomatic that a first approach to the task must be to gather as many relevant specimens as possible (cf. the pioneering bibliographies of Barbara Grier and Ian Young, cited under “English and American” below). These efforts yield a number of canons, such as those based on national traditions, specific periods, and influential writers and circles.

As we go back in time, the criteria of relevance become murkier. Some authors, wary of censorship, preferred to “tell it slant,” in the evocative phrase of Emily Dickinson. Others have included only one gay or lesbian character, sometimes peripheral. There are also works that seem to evidence a pervasive gay or lesbian sensitivity, without ever risking a positive assertion. Until recently, subterfuge, allusion, and evasion have been prominent strategies for some authors.

There are also recurrent themes, including the relationship between friendship and erotic enactment, coming out, difficulties of self-acceptance, gender conformity (or not), issues of class and race, and the Arcadian motif identified by Byrne Fone.

Thanks for invaluable assistance to Paul Knobel, creator of the definitive, multilingual Encyclopedia of Male Homosexual Poetry, available on CD-ROM from the author at P.O. Box 762, Edgecliff, NSW, Australia.
